Construction will continue in earnest on both Albain and Dunbar Rds. in Monroe Township next week.

Starting Monday, crews for the Monroe County Road Commission will apply a cold asphalt pavement overlay on Dunbar from Telegraph Rd. (US-24) west to Raisinville Rd.

The first work to be done will be milling, pavement repairs and concrete driveway removals. The road will remain open, but motorists should expect long delays.

Albain was supposed to have an asphalt overlay applied this past week from Telegraph to S. Dixie Hwy. (M-125), but the job had to be rescheduled due to issues with the railroad. The work is slated to begin Wednesday, again dependent on the railroad. Like Dunbar, the road will be kept open, but there could be long delays for motorists.

The long-awaited improvements on both Albain and Dunbar began this week.

Shoulder work also is planned next week on Ida-Maybee Rd. between N. Custer and Day Rds. in Raisinville Township and on Clark Rd. from Old 223 to Yankee Rd. in Whiteford Township, weather permitting.

Improvements on the road shoulders and gravel drives are planned on Ida-Maybee Rd. starting Monday, which will force closing the road for through traffic during construction. However, access to local homes will be maintained.

Shoulders on Clark Rd. will be upgraded Tuesday and Wednesday. Limited delays are possible for motorists.

In Frenchtown Township, a single-chip seal will be done Monday on Cole and Sandy Creek Rds. from Macomb St. east to N. Dixie Hwy. The road will be closed to through traffic, but access to local residences will be maintained.

And M-50 in the Village of Dundee will be closed today through 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Ann Arbor Railroad crossing for resurfacing of the crossing.

A detour will be posted that uses US-23 to Ida West Rd. to Lewis Ave. back to M-50.

Motorists are advised to plan for extra traveling time going around the resurfacing project.
